Yes, these milk crates are the real McCoy. The hard to find, commercial-duty milk crate so sought after there’s practically a black market for them. We even know people – dependable upstanding members of the community – who have been known to steal them and hoard them, they’re so useful. But now you can have all 1001 uses for these stackable crates without resorting to a life of crime. Made by the American-based commercial supplier of these crates (not some cheapo version like you find in discount stores). Constructed of what might look like run-of-the-mill plastic but is actually HDPE (high-density polyethylene resin), capable of carrying 4 gallons of milk, or 35 lbs. or more. Great for carrying tools, cords, supplies, for trunk storage, closet, shop or shed storage and stacking to maximize storage in small spaces.

These are real heavy duty quality milk crates, not some cheap throw-away knock-off. These crates can stand use, and abuse. We use them to keep things organized in the rear areas of our vans, and SUV. If anything, we will order some additional ones.

I do wish there would be the choice of different colors. The bright colors are fine, but I would like grays, or tans, as well to better match with the carpeting and interior of vehicles.

Run of the mill 'store bought' crates are sub par, bend and flex and are not suitable for stacking. The Milk Crate from Duluth are STRONG, don't flex or dump over when stacked. I keep binders and books in mine. I ordered 4 and intend to purchase 4 more for shed storage. The crates really work for my storage needs.
